This review is from: It's Amazing: Glorious Female Gospel 1947-52 (Audio CD)

For Black Gospel collectors/fans this is a very good album to have. While the sound quality varies from scratchy to pretty good, the songs and the interpretations are worth a careful hearing. Many of the arrangements (versions) are more spare than later versions. Accompaniment is piano, guitar, occasionally bass. I particularly liked the songs by the Gospel Silhouettes, which sounded a lot like Dorothy Love Coates and the Gospel Harmonettes to me. Their "Rock in a Weary Land" really rocks. I liked "My Trouble is Hard" by the Southern Revivalists also: very plain but effective singing by soloist and backup group. The liner notes include a transcription of the texts of the songs, but they are riddled with errors.
